Phase I - Micro Lesson 2

1. Assessing Prior Knowledge:
   • Prior experience would be assessed by asking the students questions with a KWL chart. I would expect to learn what the students know, want to know, then what they have learned from the KWL chart. This information would be useful in the planning process to know where exactly my students are in their base of knowledge of the content I will be teaching. 
2. Plans Instruction: 
   • My goals, objectives, and outcomes are clearly stated in my lesson which follow the Arizona state standards for 2nd grade math. 
3. Designing Instruction:
   • The instructional design of my lesson is logically organized because we start with the basics of learning what each shape's characteristics, sides, angles, then to identifying, labeling, molding, then a scavenger hunt. I discussed if a student is ahead of the class, they will work on putting shapes together to form new ones, then introducing their findings to the class. Technology is utilized in this lesson with a power point to show pictures of the shapes in real life. Smart board for students to come up and label the sides, angles, and draw their own shapes. 
   • Addresses or does not address:
     • Safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology
     • Does not address 
     • Digital etiquette and responsible social interactions

     • Meeting diverse needs of learners through learner-centered strategies and equitable access
     • Does address
     • Global awareness and digital-age communication
     • Does not address
4. Planning Assessment: 
   • The assessments will be linked to the objectives by incorporating them with a scavenger hunt. The students will draw a shape they see in the environment that correlates with the name. They will also write an "exit ticket" at the end of class stating one or two things they learned during that lesson, and if they have a question they may write that as well. I asked a few questions as an anticipatory set asking the students, where they have seen these geometric shapes. The scavenger hunt has the students walking around and looking for the specific shapes in their environment, as well as the exit ticket at the end of class. Meeting my students needs throughout the assessments allows them to draw, write, move around, and express their answers through assessment.
